In some instances people imagine a cir- cus came to town but upon close in- vestigation, are amused at the funny antics indulged in. Here are a few: By rolling a lead pencil with a rul- er around the High school assembly room, Robert Keller amused the pu- pils because he bet on Musser. Amos Nissley, by makiniz the same kind of a bet, rolled a peanut over the same course. Miss Margaret Krall will be oblig- ed to buy all the ice cream Misses Kathryn Longenecker and Esther Garber can eat because she thought Musser would be elected. If either or both the winners are indisposed ere long, the cause will, in all likeli- hood, be stomach trouble. A Manheim street resident (who requested that we omit his name) was obliged to hop on one leg from his home out to the Mount Joy ceme- tery and return, with the understand- ing that he could rest whenever he pleased. The winner of the bet ac- companied him. Although Bigler Mumma marched in the Greist parade, he bet on Mus- ser and now must roll a barrel around the square at the postoffice with his nose. That corner is crowded every night watching for the loser to pay his bet. Dorothy Loraw and James Krall must buy Dorothy Schroll. and How- ard Mumma all the ice cream they can eat at one sitting. The bet will be paid the first day either Neuman or the Sanitary Milk Company's large trucks bring a sufficient supply to any of their local distributors. An employe at Brown's Mills here, must give one week’s pay to a fellow employe. Over at Marietta a staunch Greist supporter must take a swim in the river on Thanksgiving afternoon just because Musser carried that town by seven votes, One of the employes at the Grey Iron Works here, who chews an aver- age of two packs of tobacco a day, must discontinue the practice for one year. Here's an instance where, when a man loses, he wins. ee YOUNG FOLKS ARE JOINED IN WEDLOCK NUMBER OF VERY WELL KNOV’N YOUNG FOLKS ARE JOINED IN THE HOLY BONDS OF MATRIMONY. Buochl—Weidman Paul M.

PARTMENT OF FORESTRY— BEAUTIFY YOUR LAND BY PLANTING Applications for pring planting season trees the coming into the Department of Forestry in- dicate that the movement for the re- forestation of waste and denuded Pennsylvania is growing for now lands’ 1n teadily. Each succeeding year it is brought home to the people of the State, as well as all the country at large, with increasing force that the only hope of a timber supply in the future lies in new forests, produced either arti- ficially or naturally. In order to make forests more at- tractive as an investment, the State is spending large sums to protect them from fire, and today its system of forest fire protection has been pronounced by the U. S. Forest Ser- vice to be the best among the States. To date the number of applications for young forest trees is far more than for the corresponding period last year. Land owners in all parts of the State have applied for trees in large quantities that the entire sup- ply, about 4,000,000 trees, of white pine, Norway spruce, Japanese red nine, European larch, red oak, catal- pa and black walnut has been allotted- The Department of Forestry has, however, about 3,000,000 young trees of the fgllowing kinds available; pitch, pinet, = Scotch pine, Japanese black pine, white ash, green ash, rock oak and American elm. These trees are from five to twelve inches in height. They are distribut- ed free to land-owners by the Depart- ment of Forestry, and they are to be planted for wood production. They are not suited in size and shape for shade or ornamental planting.

BIG BLAZE ON THE HOFFINES FARM HOME, BARN, TOBACCO SHED, CHICKEN HOUSE, CATTLE AND CROPS' DESTROY- ED BY FIRE A very destructive fire occurred on the Jacob Hoffines farm, about 214 miles South of this place, in East Donegal township, on Sunday after- noon, the farm being tenanted by Thomas Bankler, The loss is estimat- ed at about $25,000. The fire started shortly before noon in one of the large fodder stacks wear the barn. A short time before a boy was noticed running away from the place and it is thought that he saw a rabbit running under the stack and started a small fire to smoke it out. Sparks were carried by the high wind to the adjoining barn which was soon a mass of flames. The fire spread quickly and before long the tobacco shed, pig sty, chicken house and dwelling house were ablaze. Fire companies, called from Marietta, Maytown and Mount Joy were powerless to check the flames. The barn was a large structure, 90 by 45 feet in size and in it were consumed: two mules, a horse, all of the farming implements, includ- ing a reaper, binder and a number of wagons, 10 acres of tobacco, 20 acres of hay, 20 tons of baled straw, 10 acres of corn, 7 tons of oats feed, recently purchased. Four hogs were burned with the pig sty. The chick- ens were rescued with difficulty. The tobacco shed, 30 to 40 feet, was filled with tobacco, all of which is a total loss. The house, a frame structure, about 30 by 80 feet, was the last to go and with the help of neighbors who came to their assistance, the Bankler family was able to get out the greater part of their furniture and clothing.
